Our Camper Overhaul {Bathroom}

Happy Monday and welcome to the first installment of

{Our Camper Overhaul} the bathroom

My husband and I are overhauling our camper trailer. We LOVE to camp and our best memories as a family are in the cool pines of Arizona! My boys are natural campers and that makes our family vacations a breeze! :) We are slowly working on our home away from home and as we finish each room, I will post the before and after pics. Just to give you a little bit of an idea of what we are planning to accomplish with this beast, here's our TO DO list:

rip out all tile and carpet

lay a new tile floor throughout

rip off old wallpaper

remove 1980's molding

wallpaper the walls

add a little bit of wainscot

paint the cabinets

paint the hardware

new kitchen faucet

remove toilet and sink in bathroom

install a whole new bathroom

remove the dining area

remove the 1970's stereo

add a bench to the dining area

remove the fridge and use for storage

curtains for windows

add a cute ladder to the bunk beds

paint the outside of trailer

replace outside awning

This is the outside of our trailer, it's a 32 footer! It IS a beast!

So, inside we started by ripping everything out. The floor, the wallpaper, and the bathroom were the first to go. I wish I would have taken a better BEFORE picture. I got carried away, and the next thing I knew, the tile was gone. So, this is the camper bathroom without tile. It's not a big bathroom, you hardly have room to turn around in a complete circle. But, it's a BATHROOM and I am SOOO grateful to have one! :) Our shower is packed full of our camping gear that we take with us (yes, even a satellite dish) and that's one thing I am excited for with this makeover is to get my shower back!

AFTER

New floors, new air vents, new walls, new toilet! :)

Moving on to the SINK,

BEFORE

of course, everyone bathroom sink needs Bath and Body Works soap...even while camping.

And here's the

AFTER

We ripped out the sink and we covered the whole bathroom with water resistant tile walls. My hubby picked out the fabric for the front of the sink, and he's VERY proud of his purchase. I can't say that I agree, but if it makes him happy! I am thinking it would have been cute with a polka dot fabric or maybe damask... he says no! haha! It's perfect for him to be able to get below the sink and do the plumbing that he needs to do, and then it closes off nicely with the fabric. We got the sink online for a smokin' price and the faucet as well. The floor got new tile and we filled in all the gaps with caulk. I absolutely LOVE the new bathroom! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the guy who is helping me to overhaul this beast!
